What did Sylvia Brown say about the end of the world or has she said anything about it? I hear on the history channel about Nostrdamas and his predictions. Some predictions of his has come true I've heard.

You have actually asked a few questions here.
1. Every few years there is another 'End of the World' date that comes up. This was extremely popular in the 1840s with the Millerites, a national movement. Their leader believed that he found the actual date of the end of the world by reading the bible and doing some math. His followers gave up on work, gave away their property, and waited anxiously to be taken to heaven. Of course the end never came. Some groups broke off the Millerites and redid the math. Remember the Branch Dividians in Waco, they are an off-shoot of the Millerites. As are the Seventh Day Adventists.
2. Nostradamas's predictions. There was a 'movie' out in the 70s/80s that was narrated by Orson Welles that proclaimed that Nostradamas predicted the Kennedy Assination, WWII, Man on the Moon, and every other famous event. Nostradamas was just the most famous of vague fortune tellers. If you read his quontraines (sorry about the spelling) you find that who have to very carefully read his statements and do some very creative twisting to actually make his predictions fit into actual world events. Besides, his books was hundreds of pages long. If I created thousands of preditions, a small number would appear correctly.

There was no Mayan prophecy that the world would end on that date or any other date. The Maya were not in the business of prohecy. This has all been invented by crackpots. The claimed 2012 doomsday is a hoax. Everything the scam artists are saying about 2012 is a pack of lies. The Mayan calendar doesn't end, it just recycles. The Maya didn't predict anything for 2012. They didn’t make prophecies and the end of one cycle and start of another was an event to celebrate. The people talking about all the signs of the end times happening now don’t realize that they have been happening throughout history. The History Channel doomsday schlockumentary consists of lies, half truths, and wild speculation. There were no ancient prophecies concerning 2012. Nostradamus never mentioned it. No one predicted it before the hoaxers started claiming it. This was after their 2003 doomsday failed to occur on schedule and they needed to keep selling their books and assorted doomsday garbage. None of it is said or supported by scientists. All the claimed astronomical events are either impossible or have no effect on us. The Solar maximum is now expected to occur in May 2013 and to be less energetic than average. It could interfere with electronics and communications. We aren't going to have any alignments aside from the apparent alignment that occurs every year at the December solstice. Geomagnetic reversal (polar reversal) takes hundreds to thousands of years to occur. We wouldn’t even feel it happening. Nibiru doesn't exist. It came from Z. Sitchen's misinterpretation of ancient Sumerian references to the planet Jupiter. Even Sitchen didn't claim it would come back in 2012 (he said 2085). Nancy Lieder, who hears aliens in her head and originally said her "Planet X" would be here in 2003) took over Sitchen's imaginary planet and changed her doomsday date to 2012 when her original prediction failed. That covers most of the absurd claims. The world will still be here after 2012, along with most of us.

Predicting the apacolypse has been going on since Nero was throwing Christians to the lions, every turn of the Century, every end of the millenia, the 7th Day Adventists had their day in 1912, the Jim Jones cult and wacko in Waco both had their days, every passing of Haley's comet, eclipse of the sun and other end-of earth prophesies that i'm sure i missed. One thing you can be sure of, the arsenals of the US and Russia can obliterate a million Hiroshimas.....anyway, sleep tight.

Back in 1960 we all ran around scared stiff thinking the world was gonna end. Something about some sealed letter the Pope was gonna open from St. Theresa, or something like that. Don't fret. Live, Love, Laugh!!

you can also find lots of truth in a gypsy fortune teller,it depends on how much you want it to be true.I doubt very much it will end on that day!
Wasn't he of supposed to have predicted the comet also?
They give lots of information,you can always find a connection somewhere but nothing solid.Was it he who said the end will start from a war in the East.See most people would connect that to Iraq.I suppose if you look at the globe you have lots of places in the East capable of starting a war!

There is no such prediction. This is a misunderstanding of the Maya calendrical system.
